Ice Explosion is indeed a divine skill for ice-attribute Soul Masters.
The stronger the person being detonated, the greater the explosive power will be once the power of the Ice Blast spell is successfully injected into their body.
In his previous life, he surprised even the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao with the combination of Great Cold Without Snow and Ice Explosion Technique.
Especially the Ice Explosion Technique that erupts directly from within the opponent's body, that destructive power from the inside out, is something even a Title Douluo-level powerhouse would find difficult to withstand.
When Bingdi helped Huo Yuhao condense his third spirit ring, she was quite surprised to find that the attached second spirit skill was Extreme Ice Bloom, which was similar to Ice Explosion.
As the emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, Ice Emperor's innate abilities do not include Ice Explosion.
If she had possessed this ability back then, she might have had the confidence to challenge the Snow Empress's position as the leader of the three great kings of the far north.
This Extreme Ice Bloom has the dual effects of Extreme Ice Domain and Ice Explosion, making it even more domineering than ordinary Ice Explosion.
After listening to Huo Yuhao's brief explanation of the effects of the soul skill, Zhang Lexuan's expression became serious.
"Junior brother, according to you, your soul skill combines the opponent's soul power with the frozen ice, and the explosive power is directly related to the strength of the frozen target's physical body?"
In the end, Zhang Lexuan's beautiful face couldn't hide her surprise.
If used properly, this soul skill is indeed powerful enough to be called a divine skill!
The way Li Yongyue and Ye Liu looked at Huo Yuhao also became somewhat strange.
They were all thinking to themselves, "Are the first-year students in the School of Foreign Languages this year really that fierce?"
Wu Ming's eyes flickered, carrying a mischievous smile.
"Junior, wait here for a moment, your senior will catch a few fresh thousand-year-old soul beasts for you right away."
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly. She naturally couldn't let Wu Ming wander around this area alone.
This area is already the boundary between the mixed zone and the core zone. If the fighting attracts even more powerful soul beasts, that would be a real problem.
Just then, a gentle voice rang in everyone's ears: "Interesting. You all wait here for a while, I'll go and catch a few myself."
Clearly, Yan Shaozhe was also very interested in the effects of the soul skills that Huo Yuhao had described.
Not long after, Yan Shaozhe, dressed in flowing white robes, returned, carrying several wolf-like soul beasts that had been beaten to the point of near death and were dark blue in color.
"Is that enough?"
"That's enough, thank you Dean Yan," Huo Yuhao replied.
Yan Shaozhe nodded to Huo Yuhao, casually tossed the soul beast in his hand to the ground, and then disappeared again.
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and simply ended the lives of those soul beasts.
Before their soul power had completely dissipated, he activated his soul power and froze them one by one.
However, he deliberately left one unfrozen, intending to use it as a blood lure for the trap later.
The Purple Shadow Lion's favorite food is the heart of a fresh corpse.
As Huo Yuhao finished preparing, he cut open the unfrozen soul beast corpse, and a strong smell of blood immediately spread to the surroundings.
He nodded to the others, who immediately understood and quickly dispersed, hiding in the treetops or bushes a hundred meters away from the trap, concealing their presence.
Beneath the giant tree less than a kilometer away, the purple shadow lion's originally lazy expression shifted slightly, and its nostrils trembled slightly, clearly having caught a whiff of the tempting scent of blood.
It paused briefly, then suddenly stood up.
His figure flashed suddenly, his speed was incredibly fast, leaving only a long trail of faint purple afterimages in his wake.
In almost the time it takes to breathe, the Purple Shadow Lion had already traversed a distance of nearly a thousand meters and appeared next to the trap set by Huo Yuhao.
The Purple Shadow Lion stopped and twitched its nostrils uneasily.
With its keen sense of smell, it could easily tell that the few thousand-year-old Azure Wind Wolves in front of it had just died, and their hearts were still enticingly fresh.
Having undergone extreme individual soldier training in his previous life, Huo Yuhao's traps were naturally not easy to detect, not to mention that the intelligence of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was not very high.
Ultimately, the desire for fresh flesh and blood overcame the instinctive wariness.
The Purple Shadow Lion raised its forepaw, covered in purple fur, and slapped it toward the chest of one of the Azure Wind Wolves, preparing to rip out its heart and devour it.
But just as the claws were about to touch the corpse, the once lifeless Green Wind Wolf corpse suddenly lit up with a dazzling emerald green light, and an unparalleled terrifying aura burst forth from it.
The next instant, a deafening roar erupted, loud enough to be heard dozens of miles away.
A sharp and short roar of a lion followed.
The Purple Shadow Lion's speed was indeed astonishing; upon sensing danger, it almost instinctively turned and ran.
But no matter how fast it goes, it can't outrun the explosion that's right next to it.
Its body had just exerted its strength to leap out when it was swept head-on by the terrifying explosive force, sent flying, smashing through countless thick trees along the way, before finally crashing heavily to the ground.
Its purple fur was covered in dirt and broken leaves. Its body twitched a few times and then could no longer move. It was clear that it was taking in more air than it was exhaling.
The shockwave from the explosion, carrying extremely cold energy, instantly swept across an area of hundreds of meters around it.
Countless plants and tall trees were rapidly frozen into fragile ice crystals in the terrifyingly low temperatures, and then obliterated by the violent shockwaves.
Ice crystal fragments flew everywhere, fluttering down in a flurry.
When the group reappeared from their hiding place, they accidentally touched the falling ice crystals and immediately felt a bone-chilling cold instantly invade their entire bodies.
It was a biting cold that seeped directly into the bone marrow, making one feel as if their very soul was about to be frozen solid in that instant.
At the epicenter of the violent explosion, a charred crater over ten meters in diameter and more than three meters deep appeared.
Under the cover of the constantly falling ice crystals, the scorched earth quickly transformed into a white, snowy world, exuding a chilling aura.
While Huo Yuhao was terrified by this terrifying destructive power, what surprised him even more was that he discovered he could also detonate the ice crystals attached to the environment and the Purple Shadow Lion a second time.
Although the power of the second detonation is certainly not comparable to the first, it is undoubtedly another extremely stealthy and deadly killing move.
At this moment, within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Ice Emperor slightly raised her delicate chin and glanced at Tianmeng with a hint of cold arrogance.
"Tianmeng, how is it? The soul skill I gave Yuhao is quite powerful, isn't it?"
Although even the Ice Emperor herself was initially quite surprised to be able to grant Huo Yuhao a soul skill similar to Ice Explosion, after witnessing the terrifying power of this soul skill firsthand, she was filled with pride and satisfaction.
Although she couldn't possess it in her previous life, she can now use the power of this extreme ice blooming as a spirit.
Hyotei felt a surge of secret satisfaction.
Tianmeng rubbed her sleepy eyes and then yawned widely.
Recently, she has found herself falling asleep for no apparent reason, which she finds very strange.
Tianmeng replied weakly, "Mmm, as expected of Bingbing, you're the best."
……
When everyone arrived at the Purple Shadow Lion's side, they couldn't help but gasp at its pitiful state.
Its once glossy and smooth purple fur was now charred black, and its body was covered with fine wounds cut by ice crystals. Its breath was extremely weak.
"Alright, Li Yongyue, you go first and absorb the spirit ring. We'll protect you."
Zhang Lexuan's voice rang out at just the right moment, as she came to her senses.
Li Yongyue nodded without hesitation, quickly stepped forward, and released his martial spirit.
A gleaming, cold blade with a graceful arc.
The moon blade flashed, and several sharp blade beams pierced the Purple Shadow Lion's head precisely, ending its life.
Soon, a jet-black soul ring rose from the corpse of the Purple Shadow Lion.
Without hesitation, Li Yongyue immediately sat down cross-legged beside him and, guided by his soul power, began to absorb the soul ring.
The latest novel is first published here!
The others consciously dispersed, cautiously observing the surrounding movements.
The power contained in the ten-thousand-year-level Purple Shadow Lion Soul Ring was extremely domineering, and it took Li Yongyue nearly two hours to absorb it completely.
After Li Yongyue finished absorbing his fifth spirit ring, he leaped up from the ground with uncontrollable joy on his face.
He quickly walked up to Huo Yuhao, his face filled with sincere gratitude: "Thank you."
He knew very well that his success in obtaining this spirit ring was entirely due to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled gently: "You're welcome, Senior Li. We're a team after all, and it would be perfect if a soul beast suited you."
Li Yongyue said earnestly, "Junior, I will remember this kindness. If you encounter any difficulties in the academy or outside, just ask me if you need my help, and I will definitely find a way to assist you."
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Wu Ming approached and waved her hand impatiently, clearly wanting to drive Li Yongyue away.
"Alright, alright, if the junior has any difficulties, I, as his senior, will naturally help him solve them. You don't need to get involved here."
Li Yongyue looked embarrassed, but she couldn't argue with Wu Ming, so she could only awkwardly back away.
Before leaving, he secretly gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up, clearly expressing his admiration for his junior's achievement in taking down the active volcano in the inner courtyard.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly as he watched Wu Ming approach. Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly realized what was going on.
Fire-attribute Soul Masters are actually more sensitive to extreme cold than Soul Masters of other attributes.
Although most of the chill left by the blooming of the polar ice had dissipated, Wu Ming could still perceive it very clearly.
Wu Ming subconsciously touched her delicate nose and couldn't help but shiver.
Before Wu Ming could say anything more, she suddenly felt that the air around Huo Yuhao, which had been slightly cool, suddenly became warm.
A gentle, comforting aura enveloped her, dispelling the bone-chilling cold.
Although Huo Yuhao cannot turn adversity into fortune right now, he can easily dispel the chill by simply changing his posture.
Wu Ming raised an eyebrow, her peach-pink eyes revealing obvious surprise.
She not only felt the chill around her disappear, but also clearly felt a warm current flowing through her body.
This warm current was completely different from the feeling of her soul power being blocked and suppressed yesterday.
As the warm current flowed, Wu Ming felt as if her entire body was cheering, and the circulation of her soul power within her body became even smoother.
Wu Ming's face regained its charming smile, and she casually grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm again, moving closer to him and lowering her voice.
"Hmph, junior, tell me honestly. Do you have a 'warm guy' nickname in the Foreign Languages Department?"
"I don't have any 'warm guy' title, senior, please don't make fun of me."
Huo Yuhao sensed the teasing in Wu Ming's words and felt slightly embarrassed.
"Oh, are you shy? You're clearly very caring."
Wu Ming smiled even more happily, but did not let go of Huo Yuhao's arm.
Huo Yuhao, his arm held by Wu Ming, felt the heat and vitality emanating from her. His face flushed slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head away, avoiding Wu Ming's bright, teasing gaze.
The senior's personality is indeed a bit unconventional, making her somewhat difficult to handle.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's voice rang out, interrupting Wu Ming and Huo Yuhao's interaction.
"Alright, everyone, get ready to continue."
After the time Li Yongyue spent absorbing the soul ring, it had completely darkened and night had fallen.
The forest at night is not pitch black. The bright moonlight shines through the gaps in the layers of the tree canopy, illuminating the forest. In addition, there are some peculiar insects and plants that can glow, so the visibility is still quite good.
But at the same time, the roars and howls of various spirit beasts could be heard from afar.
The Starry Forest at night is undoubtedly more dangerous than during the day.
Many ferocious spirit beasts are accustomed to coming out to hunt for food during this time period.
Zhang Lexuan stopped and looked at the moonlight through the gaps in the tree canopy.
"It's not advisable to continue our journey at night; we're more likely to encounter unnecessary dangers. Let's rest around here for the night. Yuhao, could you please expand the range of your mental detection? We need to find a relatively safe and open place as our campsite."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao agreed, his mental power suddenly increased, and he quickly spread it outward to carefully explore the surrounding environment.
A moment later, based on the information provided by Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan pointed in a direction and led everyone there.
This is a relatively high hillside, surrounded by dense shrubs.
Without waiting for Zhang Lexuan's instructions, Li Yongyue, who had just obtained a powerful spirit ring and was in a good mood, took the initiative to step forward and release his martial spirit once again.
At this moment, his Moon Blade Martial Soul was already covered with a faint purple halo.
Amidst the flashing light and shadow, purple blades crisscrossed, quickly clearing away a large area of bushes and weeds, revealing a relatively flat clearing.
This is their temporary camp for tonight.
Because we are located in the inner part of the Star Dou Great Forest, we need to be prepared to deal with any possible emergencies at any time. It is absolutely impossible to comfortably set up a tent and sleep.
After Zhang Lexuan arranged the order of shifts, the students who were resting, despite being in a dangerous place, quickly entered a meditative state and made the most of their time to recover their depleted soul power and mental fatigue.
